ABSTRACT
Acute kidney injury secondary to obstructive nephropathy is a frequent event
that accounts for 5 to 10% of all acute kidney injury cases and has a great impact on
The obstruction in the urinary tract has a profound impact on kidney function
due to damage produced by ischemic and inflammatory factors that have been
associated with intense fibrosis. This pathology is characterized by its effects on the
tubule; consequently, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, uremia, and anuria are seen
during acute kidney injury due to obstructive nephropathy, and after drainage,

OBJECTIVE OF THE CASE STUDY
This case study aims to demonstrate the knowledge regarding the patient’s
health condition, diagnosis, disease process, treatment plan, medical and nursing
interventions.

identified needs.
This case study uses the three C’s (Care, Core, Cure) management
approach, anchored to the nursing theory of Lydia Hall. According to Lydia Hall’s
Care, Core, Cure Model “Nursing is participation in care, core and cure aspect of
patients care, where Care is the sole function of nurses, whereas the CORE and
CURE are shared with other members of health team. The major purpose of care is
to achieve an interpersonal relationship with the individual that will facilitate the
promoting health through providing strategic care to patients and actively involved in
the development of the nursing care. The core of the study is that the patient
receives care from nurses, wherein cure, is the attention given to the patient by the

glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (Appendix A). There is no clear definition of AKI;
however, several different criteria have been used in research studies which inspires
This case study will help nurses understand the condition of the patient. This
would also help nurses in identifying the primary needs of the patient with AKI. By
identifying such needs, we will be able to formulate a care plan for the patient that
Effective management of the needs identified will help the patient recover
faster and maintain a sense of wellness. Furthermore, this case study can be used
as a tool in nursing practice because it provides a better view on the care of patients
with AKI. This study can give a good introduction to the disease process so that an
established nursing action can be quickly utilized. The output of this study, together
with all the gathered information related to the condition, will help members of the
healthcare team to deepen their understanding in the care of a patient with the same
condition.

The patient was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury Secondary to Obstructive
diagnostic procedure.
Healthy kidneys do many important jobs. They keep our whole body in
balance by removing waste products and extra fluids from our body, helps in
producing healthy red blood cells, and helps control our blood pressure.
Acute kidney injury, also known as acute renal failure, is a sudden episode of
kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days. AKI
causes a build-up of waste products in your blood and makes it hard for your kidneys
to keep the right balance of fluid in your body. AKI can also affect other organs such
Treatment of AKI depends on what has caused the injury and how severe is
the damage, treatments may include the need to increase fluid intake if the patient is
dehydrated, antibiotics if the patient has an infection, stop taking certain medications

until kidney problem has been sorted, and a urinary catheter to drain the bladder if
there is a blockage. The main goal of the healthcare team is to treat what has
caused the kidney injury. Most people with AKI make a full recovery, but some
result. In severe cases the patient may need a dialysis; peritoneal and hemodialysis.

The normal functions of the kidneys are to filter and excrete wastes and toxins

CONCLUSION
Therefore, the outcomes for patients with AKI depend on the cause of the renal
dysfunction the presence of any underlying kidney disease, and the duration of the
renal dysfunction. AKI is not only a result of one underlying disease condition but of
function of one organ, blood and fluid loss, and obstruction in the urinary tract.
In the past, it was widely believed that AKI was fully reversible in all patients.
However, in the present in most cases only those who seeks medical management
are able to survive the condition. In more serious cases renal replacement therapy
Proper education and awareness on the condition will have a great impact to prevent
Acute Kidney Injury. As simple as making a heathy food choice, getting enough
sleep, and exploring stress-reducing activities are one of the simple steps to avoid

RECOMMENDATION
This case study aims to provide the community a proper health teaching on what is
Acute Kidney Injury. Through health teachings we will be able to raise awareness
regarding the disease, the community especially the people who are at most risk will
be able to prevent, recognize the health issues, and seek support when the problem
arises.

PLAN OF ACTIVITY
26
You have a long-term disease, such as heart failure, liver disease or diabetes
Some people do not have any symptoms at first. People who are in the hospital
might learn that they have acute kidney injury after they have blood tests for another
reason.
●Seizures – Seizures are waves of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They can
make people pass out, or move or behave strangely.
●Shortness of breath
27
When should I call my doctor or nurse?
Call your doctor or nurse if you have any of the above symptoms. If you are already
in the hospital, let your doctor or nurse know if you have any of these symptoms.
Those at risk of AKI should be monitored with regular blood tests if they become
unwell or start new medicine.
Any warning signs of AKI, such as vomiting or producing little pee, require
immediate investigation for AKI and treatment.
People who are dehydrated or at risk of dehydration may need to be given fluids
through a drip.
Any medicine that seems to be making the problem worse or directly damaging
the kidneys needs to be stopped, at least temporarily.
8. Don’t smoke.
